Christmas Gift Guide: MANdles to keep the men in your life happy this Christmas
You heard it here first (or perhaps you didn’t, it’s not a new trend): candles are not just for the women in your life! That’s right, this Christmas treat your other half, your Dad, your friend, or any man in your life for that matter to one of our ‘MANdles’ - trust us, he’ll thank you for it…
Candles are not just presents for colleagues or friends when you don’t know what else to get them. They’ve become room scents and wonderful perfumes, which enrich your home. And now men have caught on to them: ‘’mandles’’ have been specifically created for men, with male-oriented scents.
Perfect for the Christmas host with the most - you know the type, Christmas cookery programmes on repeat from September to perfect his pride and joy: his turkey; chef’s hat and novelty apron on from 9am Christmas morning, won’t accept any help in the kitchen on the day…
“A perfect centrepiece for the Christmas Day table, inspired by festive treats by an open fire, our Cinnamon and Ginger 3 wick soy candle perfectly captures the festive season with the zest of lemons and orange. Warmth of the wood fire is embodied through spices such as Cinnamon, Ginger, Thyme and Nutmeg.”
Perfect for the man in your life who loves nothing more than being outdoors - be it bike rides through the woods, foraging in the forests of just anything to get out of the house, our Hampshire scent is the perfect scent for this manly man.
“Inspired by family bike rides exploring the woodlands of the New Forest, our Hampshire products are beautifully scented with Rosewood and Velvet Moss - citrus top notes with pear and armoise lead into a heart of amber, English lavender and jasmine, which lie on a base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla.”
Perfect for the sweet tooth in your life, or for your ‘honey’, if you’re into pet names of course…
“Inspired by busy Bedfordshire bumblebees, our Bedfordshire products are beautifully scented with Honey and Nectar Fruits - a natural sweet essence of spring golden honeycomb, a true sticky and rich honey aroma.”
This one is for the men who love nothing more than a day by the coast - whether it’s a long coastal walk, a full day surfing (no matter the weather) or just fish and chips by the seaside. Trust me, he’ll love it, and you’ll want his aftershave to smell like it!
“Inspired by long summer days exploring enchanting Cornish rock pools, our Cornwall products are beautifully scented with Rock Salt and Driftwood - a mesmerising floral marine scent where refreshing notes of seaweed and green algae lie in cool rock pools livened by a fresh coastal breeze and enhanced by touches of cyclamen and water lily. At the base of the fragrance, sparkling salt-crusted driftwood is warmed by amber, patchouli and musk.”
Perfect for the lovers of long, brisk walks in the Lake District…
“Inspired by long walks exploring the lakes, mountains and valleys of the breath-taking Lake District, our Lake District products are beautifully scented with Freshwater Minerals - a fresh, earthy accord with a woody, mineral base.”
Show the man in your life that you’ve really thought about him, and choose 3 of his favourite scents, or maybe 3 of his favourite places, creating a bespoke gift set containing 3 scents he’ll adore.
